How Wide is Hole For Gooseneck Ball For B&W Gooseneck/Companion on 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
Updated 12/22/2025 | Published 10/12/2024
Question:
I’m curious as to if the receiver that the ball slides into is a standard 2 inch . The receiver for my bumper pull is 2.5. Just trying to clarify. The ball itself is 2-5/16. But the hole the ball will go into is a 2 inch?

Hi McKay,
I'm a bit confused on what you're asking but I think it's the size of the hole the gooseneck ball fits into on the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1020-5W.
This is a 2-1/2 inch square hole, but won't have anything to do with a standard hitch receiver like for a bumper pull trailer. If I misunderstood, please drop a comment below and I'm sure I can clarify.
